Dale's Antique Market was opened in 1988 by Dale & Dianne Hayter. With a love for the unique and unusual, the Hayters established a permanent store front with the building of a timber frame barn to house their collection. Mennonite Furniture was added to the product line in 1990 to create a one of a kind mix of new and old. This unique setting continues today. The store is filled with hand crafted Canadian made Mennonite furniture, a remarkable variety of antiques, and rustic home decor items.

Lush manicured landscapes, challenging water hazards and beautifully wooded areas make Woodlands Links a first choice for any golfer. Woodlands is an Audubon and championship Links course. The breathtaking course has no two holes that play alike offering a challenge for both the beginner and avid golfer. Water hazards exist on 11 of the 18 holes, there are 28 strategically placed sand and grass bunkers, and the natural roughs encourage you to take a sure swing when you are not on one of several holes which run through forested areas. This course, designed and built, run and owned by Gordon and Paula Lobb is sure to please all who experience her, whether it be by sight or interaction. Another attraction is the 8000 square foot club house designed from the existing post and beam bank barn dating back 175years. This building is accented by its rusticated fieldstone architecture, many attractive surrounding rock gardens and flanking outdoor patios, offering excellent views overlooking the course.
